They will probably solve the panic issue. However, it is strange to me that no one is explicitly mentioning the fundamental underlying tension here between C and Rust. Rust is a reaction to the lack of safety inherent in languages like C. Rust is an opportunity to really evolve operating systems forward. That's why projects like Redox OS have more promise in the long term for me than dragging the Linux community to Rust.
